Private log entries with Python App Engine (Standard)

[Anastasios Hatzis]

In Cloud Console's IAM I have noticed the role logging.privateLogViewer

According to the Stackdriver documentation, certain logs are marked as "private". Is this feature also available in app logging inside App Engine for Python (2.7) Standard environment? Maybe an optional parameter I can pass with the log message?

The 'logservice' API deals specifically with reading and writing App Engine request and application logs. You can read the documentation for details on features, but reading private non-App Engine logs such as Data Access audit logs isn't available as this is outside the scope of the service.

However, nothing is stopping you from simply using the Stackdriver Logging API from your App Engine app.
